Align and Secure Railless Motors
Once all motors are properly located, either after initial installation or after maintenance or
replacement, the motors must be aligned from motor to motor. When aligning and securing
the ends of two straight motors together, a V-brace is attached over the alignment features on
both inner and outer surfaces of the motors. When aligning and securing the ends of two
curved motors, or a straight motor to a curved motor, the V-brace is only attached at the outer
surface of the motors.
NOTE: To align and secure motors with rails, see Align and Secure Motors and Switches on
page 258.
Figure 5-15: Align and Secure Railless Motors
1. Loosen the M6 bolt used to secure the motor to the motor mount for all motors being
adjusted.
2. Install the V-braces at all motor-to-motor joints using M6 x 10 mm screws with Loctite
243 and tighten finger-tight to pull the motors together.
3. Align straight motors at the motor joints as shown in Figure 5-15, make sure that the
tops of the motors are coplanar and the motors are collinear. Tighten the two M6 x
10 mm screws on each V-brace at that motor joint to 3.4 N•m [30 in•lb] with a T30
Torx bit.
4. Align the straight to curve motor joints, make sure that the tops of the motors are
coplanar. Tighten the two M6 x 10 mm screws on each V-brace at that motor joint to
3.4 N•m [30 in•lb] with a T30 Torx bit.
